Sorry can't agree Dan. Although the idea of racing a stock class can make for something different, all you would be doing is splitting the class into even less heats. The idea worked well in the old RRC series when you had 100 modified and 40 standard class at each meeting. But at club races you would end up with only 10 - 15 people in each class and if you made it mandatory people had to race standard motors, then the others would just race a different class. You only have to looked at CWIC on road series, you have twelve heats split between five different classes and some can't even fill a heat.
If you looked at it the other way round if the club only ran one class, you would have 50+ drivers all competing for the same thing.
On a different note going back to stock motors. It would be good if all new drivers were made to start racing with stock motors and only allowed to use modified once they get to a certain standard or period of time in racing. Also I don't believe in any sponsored driver should be allowed to race stock. And if they were, they should only be sponsored for one full season, before having to move up to modified.
Otherwise Dan, nice your thinking of other ways to get people racing. But I feel too many classes will make racing less interesting.
